Federer wins at Indian Wells, sets up rematch with Chung

Lorena Waters

Chung has been in excellent form in 2018, though, and was likened to 12-time Grand Slam champion Djokovic during his run to the semi-finals of the Australian Open.

"I think similarities to Novak's game are particular, which is mostly in his movement, the way he's able to slide to his forehand and to his backhand with the open stance, which not many guys do or do it as extensively as Chung does".

Federer had to really work in his fourth round match, but once again, he played clean, served well and pounced the second his opponent created the slightest opening.

Chardy committed 46 unforced errors to 29 for Federer, who won 90 per cent of his total service points.

Chung defeated Pablo Cuevas in straight sets, 6-1, 6-3, to reach the final eight at the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells Tennis Garden in Indian Wells, California, on Wednesday (local time). But Federer's serve was so bang-on that the World #100 never even got a sniff at a break point.

"I had a chance to finish off the match early, but the wind picked up, and Cuevas started playing better near the end", Chung said, according to a transcript provided by his agency, IMG. He dropped just three points overall with those coming on his second serve.

Federer said he was looking forward to playing the World #26 and that he was happy to see the young Korean star had healed so quickly. And this year it's just been really good, solid matches.

His fellow 21-year-old, Borna Coric, also booked his quarter-final spot in the early proceedings on Wednesday as he prevailed 6-2, 6-7 (6), 6-4 over Taylor Fritz of the United States.

In the women event, world number one, Simona Halep, overcame Croatia's Petra Martic in three sets to reach the semi-finals. "Just now I'm very disappointed".

Philipp Kohlschreiber of Germany beat Pierre-Hugues Herbert of France 6-4, 7-6 (7/1) and Canada's Milos Raonic won in a walkover when Marcos Baghdatis withdrew from their night match with an illness.

Federer, the defending champion of the competition, won the French player, 7-5 6-4 in just an hour and 22 minutes.
